During testimony given in 2023, the former US president forgot the year of death of his son, the election of Trump and other episodes of his life
Audios of a statement provided by former US President Joe Biden (Democrat) in 2023 to the authorities show the former chief of the US executive with difficulties to remember important facts of his life.
Among the mistakes made, Biden forgot the year of death of his son Beau Biden, the moment when he left the US Vice Presidency, the year when President Donald Trump (Republican) was elected for the first time and why he had unauthorized personal possession of government confidential documents. The Democrat still showed slowness and long periods of pause in speech.
The recording was obtained by the US digital newspaper and published on Friday (16.MAI.2025). The White House had refused to make the audios of the testimony available while Joe Biden was in the president of the United States when he was the target of opponents who accused him of being mentally unable to command one of the most relevant executives of world politics.
Read the transcription of important moments of hollow audio:
Biden misses the year of death of his son:
Robert how, Ex-Procurador de Maryland “So during this time you lived in Chamber Road and there were documents related to Penn Vaccine Center, cancer vaccine or your book, where you kept the documents related to the things you were working actively?”
Joe Biden – Well, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, I don’t know. What is this? 2017, 2018 at that time? During this period, my quoted son died. By the way, there were still many people at the time, when I left the Senate, who encouraged me to run during this period, except the President [Barack Obama]. It is not evil to say, he [Obama] I just thought she [Hillary Clinton] It was more likely to win the presidency than me. And then I had no… I had no… right now, even if it was out, I had not given up on the idea that I could run for a position again.
Joe Biden – What month Beau died?
Robert how – May 30, 2015.
Biden misses Trump’s election year and is corrected:
Joe Biden – Meanwhile, Trump was elected in November 2017.
Robert how – 16, 2016.
BIDEN forgets that you have illegally government documents:
Robert how “This memo, Mr. President, was something that you consciously kept after your term as vice president?” Is it something you wanted to keep?
Joe Biden – I don’t remember. Did I have that? Was it in my possession? I don’t remember how he [documento confidencial] He returned to the book because I sent him to the president and gave him to the president, and that seems the original. I don’t think there’s a copy of it, maybe there’s a copy, but I don’t think so.
Biden’s sanity under discussion
The end of Joe Biden’s presidency was marked by accusations of opponents that the former US president had no cognitive capacity to stay in office. The Democrat was the oldest US president to occupy the 82-year-old White House.
In 2024, several videos viralized on the internet, with Biden being the target of jokes for alleged forgetfulness and actions similar to those of people with oblivion.
